Cynthia Erivo And Shoshana Bean Will Return To the Apollo Theater for Annual Holiday Event NIGHT DIVINE

On Monday, December 16, Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award Winner Cynthia Erivo and Broadway star, Billboard #1 recording artist Shoshana Bean come together for a one-night-only Holiday Spectacular at Harlem's World Famous Apollo Theater. After a sold out 2018 engagement, two of the most gifted singers on earth return to lift their voices for one incredible Night Divine. This musical match made in heaven brings a soulful glamour to the holidays, reimagining the sound and style of the season with a 13-piece orchestra and an inspired collection of duet looks by star designers Christopher Palu and Christian Siriano. With the nostalgic elegance and candid humor of a Judy Garland Christmas special, Night Divine carries the torch of the most iconic showstoppers, burning brightly from the historic Apollo stage.

Doors open at 6:30pm and the concert begins at 7:30pm on Monday, December 16th. The Apollo Theater is located at 253 W 125th St. Tickets available at HERE or at the Apollo Theater Box Office. VIP packages also available that include an artist meet and greet following the show.

Bean and Erivo first met in 2014 while performing together in a London concert. The two shared the stage at Bean's album concert at The Apollo Theater in 2017, and again last December for their first annual holiday spectacular, Night Divine. At the end of 2017, the duo released their hit cover video of Taylor Swift's "I Did Something Bad," which garnered a frenzy of media attention, millions of views, and earned high praise from Swift herself.

The concert is produced and presented by the team behind Los Angeles' beloved "For The Record" series as part of unique concert programming titled, "For The Record Presents." These concert presentations highlight artists who have inspired For The Record's unique brand and have been involved with the show's development over the years. These artists are curated from a vibrant tapestry of performers including Billy Porter, Derek Klena, Ty Taylor, Amber Riley, Eden Espinosa, and Lea Michele. This year, For The Record is ringing in the holidays coast to coast, as they simultaneously present their multimedia concert celebration, Love Actually Live, in Los Angeles at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, November 27 - December 29.
